Thread: If there was another planet would you go?

I agree with Forsaken, gravity would be a big problem.

You know this becuase you've seen the core of the planet??? it probably just has a compositions similar to mars's core. Or its core is made out of marshmallow.
I would definetely go, so many new nature to explore, businesses to set up, a good evironment without the pollution for my children, unusual animals, huge quantities of metal.
Due to the increased spin on such a large planet I would live longer than people on earth.

Even if it was made out of marshmallow, you would be crushed in the core. Due to weight of the planet pressing towards the core, I would think it wouldn't be made out of marshmallows. Also how do you even know the composition of mars's core? I wouldn't think so, seeing that the planet is ten times bigger.

Also, what does the spin on a large planet have to do with living longer. I would think due to the sudden change of planets, it would make life much more difficult.

Edit: Also, to answer your first question, I know this because of the planet's size.

by passing satellites past it we can calculate its weight and look at light spectrums from the planet. Mars is 0.15 times earths volume but 0.1 times earths mass, the same could be applied to this 10 times bigger planet. Its all astrophysics.

Second question; life wouldn't change, as we move at the same speed as the planet we are on you wouldn't notice.
You would live longer than people on earth because of time dilation. In space the faster the go or the heavier a planet the more time is stretched, So while we would feel like we lived a hundred years people on earth would have seen us live 105 years

How does light from Mars tell you anything about the core..? :/

The effect would be minuscule. Nothing like 5 years. A few hours maybe, if that.

Xei,
Things like seismic data can be obtained through high and low wavelengths, which in turn gives indirect evidence to a possible composition of the core. There are off course many ways we can predict the composition I happened to only name these few.
I know you wouldn't even notice the time dilation, i was only kidding.
